Hi Julien,

this is due to debian library versioning policy and was explicitly
requested for the debianization.

polybori.h is just a convenience wrapper to polybori/polybori.h
I'm not sure whether we deliberately omitted the first one in the debian
package.

@Fred: Would it cause any trouble if we add /usr/include/polybori.h to
libpolybori-dev.install ?

> But perhaps all of this will change with 0.8.3, both in debian and in sage?
The library naming scheme should be changed definitively in Sage. Since
the spkg installs both variants, so this can be changed in the Sage
library, when polybori-0.8.4.spkg is accepted.
 The same would apply for polybori.h vs. polybori/polybori.h

Best regards,
  Alexander
